Reddit mentions of X-keys L-Trac Blue Trackball

Yeah, at first you could find trackballs, keyboards, little d-pads like on game controllers, and trackpads on phones. The recent BlackBerry KEYone had a hidden setting that allowed you to rub your fingers over the keyboard and move the mouse cursor on the screen like a trackpad on a laptop. Android has full support for mouse cursors, and last I checked there are a few apps that allow rooted phones to have a little trackpad on their screen.

For some operations, it sucks. But for a lot of navigation, it takes a lot less effort to keep your finger in the same place. The Nexus One I linked to in the original post would let you scroll down a webpage with it, and as you scrolled, it would also highlight links on the screen. Then you push in the ball, it makes a little click, and it takes you to the webpage. I liked that. ♥

Logitech and Kensington still make computer trackballs, and even release new designs now and then! The current popular one for hardcore users seems to be this one, though: https://www.amazon.com/CST2545-5W-Ambidextrous-Performance-Ergonomic-Trackball/dp/B00YI07MC2/ There's a review on one of the product pages from someone who swears by it for playing Planetside 2, lol. 99% of people say those who play FPS games with trackballs are nuts, but the other 1% say it's so much better. 😁

Two recommendations:

1. Full desk mouse mat, very helpful especially with 2 mice. Makes it look clean too (which you've don't a great job with so far!)
   
   
2. You should check out a Nice trackball or a track pad for whichever computer you don't game on, it'll save space, and it'll look a bit cleaner since there aren't 2 mice on the desk.

I feel like for normal windows stuff that I track better (or more accurately?) with a trackball than a normal mouse. If you get a good one (trackball), they're amazing; and I you get a bad one (e.g. a thumb trackball) you're in for some pain and anger.

The only reason I get gaming mice at all is because of video games and 360 flick headshots. Trackballs (not the thumb ones) and ergonomics go hand in hand.

Here are a couple trackballs I would check out:

1 and 2 but maybe check out /r/trackballs
